Laptop is Back {1/7}

Well the day got off to a good start with Scotrail cancelling the train because it broke down at Dundee. After standing about for a while I eventually get into Edinburgh and to the exam venue 20 minutes later than planned, which isn't too bad considering (sometimes it pays to be paranoid). The actual exam, Distributed Systems, didn't go as well as I had hoped. A portion of the stuff I had taken extra care to revise for never showed up in the exam and one of the things that was niggling at me featured prominently in one of the questions. Thankfully I didn't feel as pressed for time as I have in some previous exams but my hand sure hurt a fair bit after all that frantic writing.

On the plus side I have my laptop back and nothing was found to be really wrong with it. While the fan still makes more noise than it used to it seems to be behaving better since I got it home and I'm now monitoring the temperature estimates and it seems to be doing its job of preventing the silicon from melting to slag.
